Hi Grant,

As a guess it is due to the partition scheme you are using in your 
kickstart (this was the issue for me at least)
Try something like

part /boot --fstype="xfs" --fsoptions="nodev,noexec,nosuid" --size=500 
--ondisk=sda
part /boot/efi --fstype="efi" --size=200 --ondisk=sda

Along with your other mount points etc.
